Reflections:
Standard 5 incorporates technology in instruction. For the this Standard I was asked to incorporate technology into a lesson that was already prepared. I used the internet to play videos of the book and PowerPoint to dispaly inmages of winter scenes. The students used technology through software where they were asked to create a mitten to represent themselves. This Standard has show me how to use technology to ehance the students' learning experience. I will use this Standard in my everyday lesson planning to ensure that the needs of all students are met and to ehance their awareness of technology.
